#USNationalDebt

The U.S. national debt is the total amount of money borrowed by the federal government to cover its budget deficit. It is divided into internal debt (held by U.S. government entities) and external debt (held by foreign countries and global investors). The national debt of the United States exceeded 34 trillion dollars in 2025, due to several factors such as wars, financial crises, and economic stimulus plans, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. This debt is financed through the sale of Treasury bonds. The continued rise in debt may negatively impact the U.S. economy by increasing interest rates and reducing investor confidence. However, the U.S. dollar remains a global reserve currency, giving the U.S. government a greater ability to manage this debt compared to other countries.
